Battery Charging: Does the battery automatically charge when you plug it in to the computer via USB or do I have to buy the charger seperate.

automatically charges when you plug it into your computer, although if you feel the need to have more than 5hrs of recording time, a second battery and a travel charger would be recommended. a must get is the 16gb micro sdhc card tho. should hold about 6-7 hours of 720p video.

No, as with a cell phone battery, you have to charge it up the first time you plug it in to your computer.

A USB cord is supplied. You plug it into your computer or a USB adapter (not included) to charge . I bought a second battery and a generic charger off of eBay. So I have a spare charged battery that I switch when needed.

You don't need a charger as it comes with an attached usb thingy that you can insert into your computer and charge it from there. The usb thingy is slotted into the cameera strap. You just pull it out gently. Hope this helps.

Yes the charger it comes with is the type you can plug in your laptop to charge the battery. This is a great camera and takes great pictures. I just finished abusing it and it worked great. I would suggest getting the plug in chargers separte and that is about seven or ten bucks.

It comes with a USB cable for charging. You should be able to connect to any computer or charger that takes a normal USB cable in order to charge.

I charge mine with the cord that came with it, it plugs into a regular electrical outlet but you could also use the cord to charge on the computer too. I use the electrical outlet..

I did not purchase a charger. All I did was follow the instructions and put the battery in the computer and charge according to those instructions.

The charger is actually a USB cord that plugs into either the computer or a wall USB plug. The battery stays in the camera while it charges

Once the battery has been installed in your laptop, just plug in your laptop and the battery will charge for you.

The unit comes with a USB cord to plug into your laptop to charge. Or you need to purchase a USB wall charger.

No, it charges with the usb cord. I bought a separate charger and two batteries for $18.00 on E-Bay.

No. Charger has to be bought separately. I suggest that you purchase the charger that has the capability to turn itself off when completely charges. It cost a little more but it does not set there and continually charge the battery like the cheap ones that are normally shipped with the tools. Also the better charges will charge the batteries much quicker, like two hours from complete flat to full charge approximately.

When you plug the USB into the computer it should automatically start charging. To confirm this, select FM Radio function. When it is on the radio screen look at the top right corner. You will see the BATTERY symbol. The black bars should be sequencing across the battery symbol. When fully charged it will show four solid black bars in the battery. Hope this helps, as I can only tell you what it should do, I can't tell what yours is doing without seeing it. Best

There is not a separate battery charger, but there is a usb cable that plugs into a computer that charges it.

No. Battery is recharged by a USB cord that plugs into a wall plug or can be charged through your computer. Seems to charge up much faster by wall outlet. Uses the same USB cord for charging that is used to upload photos to computer. Hope this helps.
